c.95d8 Crip Space Workshop Series: [Crip-Hack: Deconstructing the Identity Codes of Board Games Workshop]

💡 Why this event?
Have you ever thought that the joy we take for granted might actually be quietly excluding someone?
Gathering with friends on holidays, opening up a beautifully crafted board game with its smooth cards and gorgeous maps—everything seems therapeutic and flawless. But around this lively gaming table, there is actually an underlying assumption of a body that "possesses perfect senses and fully functional abilities."

When elaborate rules and designs reject "heterogeneous bodies," those disabled friends who choose to quietly step back and watch from the sidelines—just because they don't want to be a "spoilsport"—become the most easily ignored background in an ableist world.
Is this really just a matter of "physical inconvenience"? Or has the game already locked its gameplay into a specific, narrow set of values?

🎨 What are we doing this time?
When the world isn’t inclusive enough, you have to become your own dedicated hacker and rewrite the world's code with your own hands.

This event is inspired by American accessible gaming consultant Erin Hawley's concept of "Jailbreaking." On-site, we will explore these philosophical concepts while literally tearing apart off-the-shelf board games to experiment together. Imagine cutting off your vision and relying purely on touch to feel cards and dice, transforming past experiences of exclusion—driven by physical or emotional barriers—into brand-new game rules.

We are calling out to all like-minded people who have an obsession with objects, physics, and bodily boundaries! Let’s rewrite the code of board games, reclaim the matches we missed while growing up, and spark an everyday revolution co-created with others.

👉 If you crave challenging the status quo, come join us to deconstruct and reconstruct!

(Disclaimer: We are not professional designers, nor are we launching some social innovation project for disabled employment.
This is purely an avant-garde salon that allows everyone to play around, chat, have a drink, chill out, and shoot the breeze together.)

🧑‍🎨 About the Artist
Lo King Chi, a blind individual and a Hong Kong disability artist, is dedicated to exploring text, installation, and mixed-media creation. Since 2015, his works have been exhibited at the Community Cultural Development Centre's Tactile Art Festival. In recent years, he has been exploring a "Non-Visual Community Design" project that integrates generative AI images with text translation and editing.

He has launched innovative disability and art theory courses on online educational platforms and teaches courses related to gender, media, and disability at various tertiary institutions, aiming to further expand the public's imagination of community art in Hong Kong.
